Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 168 The Lu family is the God of Wealth in Anping Village
Old Man Lu waved his hand and told a group of children to clean themselves up and go to bed. Then several adults took the village chief and his wife to the main room to talk.

"Didn't I hear that the eldest and second son of your family are buying land recently? I just wanted to ask if it is true?"

The village chief was quite straightforward and talked straight to the point when he sat down.

"Yes, I have been living here for several months. I need some land so I can plant crops in the spring next year."

Old Man Lu smiled and answered sincerely.

Speaking of which, the village chief knew that the Lu family wanted to buy land. He had asked him for help before, but there was no one in the village who wanted to sell the land, so it was delayed.

"Don't the Qian family want to sell? Why don't your family buy it?"

The village chief wondered, wouldn’t it be better to have fields in his own village?
"Village Chief, my family has had disputes with the Qian family, and the Qian family is not easy to get along with. Now that we have a business, we may cause trouble in the future, and they ask for ten taels of silver per acre of land. Isn’t this a money grab?”

Mrs. Sun started to complain, and then continued: "Besides, his family doesn't have much land, and they can't buy enough. So they might as well go to the next village and ask. In comparison, the land in the neighboring villages is still better than our Anping Village." There needs to be more.”

The village chief nodded. Thinking of what he wanted to ask, he didn't know how to speak for a moment.

The village chief's wife was cooking for the embroiderers in the workshop during this period, and she had become quite familiar with the Lu family. She was the first to speak: "We mainly heard that your family is recruiting long-term workers. If you... If we want to buy land and recruit long-term workers, and pay the wages, our family can sell ten or twenty acres of land. It’s a good deal, and there must be many people in the village who are willing to do it, and it’s convenient to have the land in the village, right?”

Mrs. Liu smiled, thinking that those who are near the water and the towers get the moon first, and the Lu family would not sacrifice the near for the distant.

They have never thought about whether it is cost-effective for the Lu family to do this. Anyway, it is cost-effective for them. According to this salary, working as a long-term worker for the Lu family will make more than farming themselves. Those who do not want to do it are fools!

As soon as she said this, the Lu family understood. With the attitude of not having a stalemate in the relationship with the village chief's family, Mrs. Sun took Mrs. Liu's hand very cordially, called her "old sister-in-law", and then said:
"We understand what you mean. It is a good thing for my family to want to sell land. If you are willing to sell it, we are willing to buy it. But if my family wants to hire long-term workers, it does not mean that we have to recruit people from whichever family we buy the fields. When it comes to choosing people for work, it is natural to choose those who are diligent! I am not saying that your children are not diligent, I just want to make it clear to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. "

"Yes, yes, we know this."

The village chief nodded repeatedly. Although they did think that way just now, there was no need to be afraid after hearing Mr. Sun's explanation. Several of his sons were very difficult to work. If you pick any one of them, he would be able to outperform the rest of the village. Otherwise, How could he hold the position of village chief for so many years?
Originally, the Lu family didn't want to buy the land in the village. They mainly wanted to trouble the village chief with a lot of things. The land could be bought in the next village, so there was no need to owe any favors. But now the village chief came to him on his own initiative. Of course, it is useless if you don’t use it.

Therefore, Boss Lu took charge of telling the village chief about some of the practices that the family had just discussed, and asked the village chief to help publicize in the village that there was freedom of buying and selling, and there was absolutely no intention of force. There was only one requirement, the land sold by the family. They must be connected together. The top-grade fertile land can be given five taels of silver per acre, the medium-grade fertile land can be given four taels of silver, and the inferior land can be given one to three taels.

The original stipulation was four taels of silver per acre, but after a few days of on-the-spot investigation, I found that some people were not well-intentioned and just wanted to sell their poorest low-grade fields and still receive four taels of silver. Isn't this treating people as being taken advantage of? ?

So the Lu family directly changed their strategy. They were willing to spend money on fertile fields and fertile fields, but they directly lowered the price of inferior fields without giving any face.The village chief listened very carefully, for fear of missing any important information.

When the two left, Mrs. Sun also gave them five eggs, saying that it was to trouble the village chief to help promote the village. The couple declined a little and left.

The next day, the news that the Lu family wanted to buy a field and recruit long-term workers spread in the village. In fact, they had heard it from relatives in the neighboring village before. They were very excited, but thinking about the influence of the Lu family in the village now, they also I didn't dare to ask more questions. After all, the Lu family wanted to buy land from the villagers before, but they didn't agree.

Now that they know that they can also have this opportunity, everyone is overjoyed. The Lu family is simply the God of Wealth in their Anping Village.

Many families with many boys and lots of land are very attracted to it, especially those whose family members are more capable, and they don't worry about not being able to choose.

On the other hand, those whose families have fields but are relatively lazy are hesitant.

Every household gathered together to discuss whether the deal was worthwhile. After such a fuss, Qian's family, who was waiting at home for Lu's family to ask for help, also found out.

Qian Tieshu didn't understand. Is this Lu family crazy?

"Master, why did the Lu family buy so much land? They only paid five taels of silver for the best fertile land. Who is willing to sell it?"

Li grabbed Qian Tieshu's sleeve, feeling a little panicked for some reason.

It was not unreasonable that she had dared to ask for ten taels of silver before. Their village was a large village directly under the jurisdiction of the county. The road was easy to walk and it was convenient to travel. The land was naturally valuable. Selling it for seven or eight taels was not a problem. The Lu family If you want to get five taels of silver and still want to recruit people to work for you, isn't this nonsense?

"Oh, that's what I said, but do you think his family bought it? After so many days of commotion, didn't he spend a penny? In my opinion, his family just wanted to buy my family's land at a low price, so they came up with these tricks. Abuseful means!"

The more Qian Tieshu thought about it, the more it made sense. Why didn't the Lu family do anything like this when his family didn't want to sell the land?That must be just to make his family compromise!
Compromise is impossible, anyway, it depends on who can survive!
Qian Tieshu thought so, but Qian Daniu didn't. Looking at his parents, he thought they looked like two fools.

"The village chief is alarmed, do you still think it's a trivial matter? Don't tell anyone else, the village chief's family has reserved ten acres of land for sale. If the Lu family wants to live a good life in the village, do they dare to offend the village chief casually? Hurry up. Go ask about the specific situation, otherwise every family will be making a lot of money, and our family will not be able to survive even for a year!"

As he said this, Qian Daniu kicked the small stool on the ground angrily. Why are other parents so smart and able to make money in the first place, but his parents have been abandoned by others? Why do they still think so? Very impressive?

It's all because of his parents that he's like this now!
